usd-qr-code.com is an impersonation phishing page dressed up as a free tool for making USDC wallet QR codes. It targets people who hold, send or receive the USDC stablecoin and want a quick way to share a payment address. PhishDestroy first saw the site on 2026-10-16. As of 2026-10-19 it was still online and serving live content.
How the scam works
The page presents itself as "USDC QR Code Generator — Instant Wallet QR Maker Free". It invites visitors to paste an address or connect a wallet to produce a scannable code. Fake generators of this kind commonly swap in an address the operator controls, so anyone who scans the shared code sends funds to the scammer instead of the intended recipient. Others push visitors to connect a wallet or enter a recovery phrase, which can lead to the wallet being emptied. Stablecoin transfers are irreversible, so funds sent to the wrong address are usually gone for good.
Evidence
Detection by outside vendors is still thin. On 2026-10-16, VirusTotal showed 1 of 92 engines flagging the domain, and that engine was Webroot. The domain appears on the PhishDestroy blocklist and is referenced in 4 AlienVault OTX pulses. Low vendor coverage is typical of newly reported phishing sites and does not mean the page is safe.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2025-12-11 through SOLLUTIUM LLC. It resolves to 188.114.97.3 on the Cloudflare network (CLOUDFLARENET, US), which masks the origin server. Its TLS certificate was issued by Google Trust Services (WE1), so the padlock in the browser says nothing about the site's legitimacy.
What to do
Do not use QR codes created on this site, and check any USDC address you received from someone who may have used it. If you entered a recovery phrase, treat that wallet as compromised and move your remaining funds to a new wallet with a fresh phrase immediately. If you connected a wallet, review and revoke any token approvals you granted while on the page. Make QR codes only inside your own wallet app, and confirm the full address before you send anything. Defenders should block the domain at DNS, proxy and email gateways, add it to internal threat feeds, and report it to Cloudflare and the registrar so it can be taken down.
No. PhishDestroy classifies usd-qr-code.com as an Across impersonation page (risk: critical, 88/100); it was first detected on 2026-10-16. VirusTotal: 6/92 engines flag it. Treat the site as unsafe.
Is usd-qr-code.com safe to connect a wallet?
No. Do not connect a wallet, sign messages or approve tokens on usd-qr-code.com. Phishing sites ask for approvals (approve, setApprovalForAll, Permit2) that let the operator move your assets, and a confirmed transaction cannot be reversed.
What should I do if I used usd-qr-code.com?
Change every password you entered there and turn on two-factor authentication. If you connected a wallet or signed something, revoke the approvals and move the remaining funds to a new wallet; never share your seed phrase. Step-by-step help: emergency guide.

Recommendations & Advice for Victims
Choose the steps that match what you shared. Keep a copy of this report alongside your own records.
What should I do immediately?
Urgent
Stop using the suspicious site. Open the real service through its official app or an address you already trust.
Change all passwords — email, exchange accounts, anything that shares the same password
Enable 2FA using an authenticator app (not SMS). Disable SMS-based recovery
Freeze cards if you entered banking details on the phishing site
What information should I collect for my report?
FBI guidelines
Keep original emails, receipts, messages and screenshots in a secure place. A factual timeline helps the receiving authority understand what happened. IC3 evidence guidance ↗
Payment records — if you paid, save the receipt, amount, date, payment provider and recipient details.
Exact dates & times — of each transaction and first contact with scammer
Screenshots — scam website, chat messages, emails, wallet transactions, social media
All URLs & domains used by the scammer (including usd-qr-code.com)
Communications — emails, texts, phone numbers, usernames the scammer used
Even if you don't have all details — file a report anyway. Partial information still helps investigations.
Where should I report the scam?
FBI IC3 — Internet Crime Complaint Center (US federal reporting)
Your bank or payment provider — contact its fraud team promptly through official contact details if money or card information was exposed.
Local police — creates an official record, even if they can't act immediately
A report is not a guarantee of recovery or investigation, but prompt, accurate transaction data can help authorities and service providers trace the incident.
How do phishing scams typically work?
Fake websites — pixel-perfect clones of legitimate sites with slightly altered domains
Pig butchering — trust built over weeks via Telegram/WhatsApp/dating apps, then money stolen
Recovery scams — fraudsters pose as recovery agents and demand upfront fees. Never share a seed phrase or pay before independently verifying the provider
AI-powered scams — deepfakes, automated phishing, and AI-generated sites making fraud harder to detect
How can I protect myself in the future?
Bookmark official sites — never click links from emails, DMs, or ads
Verify domains — check on PhishDestroy before interacting. Check HTTPS, spelling, domain age
"Too good to be true" = scam — guaranteed returns, celebrity endorsements, urgent deadlines
